The Healing Ministry by Richard Roberts
Pardon? Baseball starts this weekend. We’ve got a nationally ranked baseball team again. We’re ranked in the top 25 in the country before the season starts. Last year we finished 14th in the country. We were one hanging curve ball away from the College World Series. We should have kicked Clemson’s butt. But, nevertheless, okay.
We were ahead in the 9th inning, and they took the College World Series away from us. But we finished 14th in the country. Athletics is a very important part. The women are not playing tonight. The women are playing Saturday. How many of you have been to men’s games, let me see your hands. How many of you have never been to a women’s game at ORU? Oh, where have you been all my life? Got to support them all, you guys. Got to support them. The women play on Saturday afternoon, and the guys on Saturday night.
Then, you know, we have this big ESPN game the following weekend, which is going to be on ESPN-U, which is in millions and millions of homes across the country. It will be the first time in many years that ORU has been on national television outside of our own Mid-Continent tournament. And that’s not a conference game. That will be against Utah State.
Oh, lots of things coming up. You’ll see alumni in chapel in the morning. Tomorrow morning, tomorrow’s chapel, I’m going to give you a video of what happened in Niger. I don’t have time to show you the whole thing, but you’re going to see at least 25 or 30 minutes of what happened in it.
And so that’s going to be my message tomorrow. There will be no preaching tomorrow. The video will do the preaching for me. And I think you’re going to be blessed. We’re just working on it this morning.
